deep dives on Philippians 2 and John 1

I’ve recently had the pleasure of some long live-stream discussions with Josiah of Integrity Syndicate. In this one, I’ve somewhat developed my interpretation of the famous passage in Philippians 2.

God willing, I may re-work my notes here into a podcast some time in 2022. This interpretation is basically what I say here, with some improvements derived from this discussion.

About a week before, Josiah and I discussed the original meaning of John 1, following up on my UCA Conference presentation. This is a good supplement to that, as we follow up on certain issues.

Thanks to Josiah for a couple of good and thoughtful conversations!

This is a good forum for thoughtful, respectful, and informed discussions with other interested Christians. I appreciate that he acknowledges the difficulty of passages like these, and his charity towards Christians who hold to different interpretations. This is a wisdom which is “peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.” (James 3:17)

Audio nerds can also observe the differences in the sound of my voice, between a good dynamic mic close to the source (Philippians 2) vs. a decent “shotgun” condenser mic just off-camera (John 1). Listeners to my podcast will recognize that I prefer the former.
